bdunkleysmith Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 2, 2020 #1 To date I have run my B4J apps on Windows, but I have begun exploring porting some to a Raspberry Pi 3 because that platform has some attactions. I began by just running an existing B4J app on the Pi by using B4J-Bridge as per https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/raspberry-pi-with-java-11.99606/, however the GUI on the Pi looks nothing like on Windows. Windows: Raspberry Pi: Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong or missing on the Raspberry Pi?

When the app launches I see an almost full screen black "window" with the GUI the size I expect in its centre. The Raspberry Pi OS is Raspian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch). I thought if I had installed the Liberica JDK as per https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/raspberry-pi-with-java-11.99606/ then an existing B4J UI app would not require a Windows installation on the Raspberry Pi. I think I need to do some further reading to understand what I can expect of the Raspberry Pi to see if it can support my objective and if so, what OS or other firmware/software I need to install.
